England Cricket Team: The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has announced its teams for two important series and has also taken a historic decision. England has declared this 21 -year -old young player as the new captain of the team for the upcoming series. The biggest discussion in the White-Ball Series against South Africa and the teams for the tour of Ireland is being made the captain of this 21-year-old player. This player is none other than Jacob Bethel.
Full strength team against South Africa
The England team will take on South Africa at their home in early September. 3 ODIs and 3 T20 matches will be played between the two countries from September 2 to 15. For this series, England has launched its full strength squad, which will be commanded by Harry Brook. The team includes big names like Jofra Archer, Jose Butler, Joe Root and Ben Docket.
Shocking decision for Ireland tour
The same month, England team will also visit Ireland, where 3 T20 matches will be played between the two. For this series, England has decided to relax its all-format players. In such a situation, a big decision was taken to make 21 -year -old Jacob Bethel a captain. This will be the first time of his career when he will captain the England team in an international match.
As soon as Bethel takes command of the team in Dublin, he will become the youngest international captain in England male cricket history. This decision has surprised the cricket world, but at the same time the strategy of showing trust in the young players of England has also made it clear.
ECB and selectors’ opinion
Giving his opinion on the decision, England team selector Luke Wright said, “Jacob Bethel has so far impressed everyone with the art of his magnificent leadership. The Ireland series will have a great opportunity for him to prove himself and further enhance his skill on the international stage.”
Marcus Treskothic will play the responsibility of coaching for this tour.
